Heavy Cost of Unpaid Postage. One of the most curious contests over before the public wan conducted by many thousand persons under the offer of the Post u in Cereal Co., Ltd., of Battle Creek. Mich., for prizes of 31 boxes of gold and 300 greenbacks to those making the most words out I of the letters Y-I-O-Grape-Nuts. The contest, was started In February, 1906, and It was arranged to have the prizes awarded on Apr. 30, 1906. When the public announcement apponred many persons began to form the words from these letters, sometimes the whole family being occupied evenings, a combination of amusement and education. After a. while the lists began to eomo In to the Postum Omce, and before long the volume grew until it required wagons to carry the mull. Many of tho contestants were thoughtless enough to send their lists iflth Insufficient postage and for a period It cost the Company from twenty-live to fifty-eight und sixty ^dollars a day to pay tho unpaid post*agp. Young ladies, generally those who had graduated from the high school, were employed to cshtnino these lists and count the correct words. Webster's Dictionary was the standard, and each list was very carefully corrected, except those which fell below 8000, for it soon became clear that nothing below that could win. Some of the lists required the work of a young lady for a solid week on each individual list. The work was done very carefully and accurately, but tho Company bad no Idea, at the time the offer was made, that tho people would respond so generully, and they were compelled to till every available pace In the offices with these young lady examiners, and notwithstanding they worked steudily. it was impossible to complete the examination until Sept. 29, over six months after the prist"! should have been awarded. Tliis delay caused a great many inquiries and naturally created some dissatisfaction. It has been thought best to make this report in practically all of the newspapers In the United Stales and many of the magazines in order to make clear to the people the conditions of the contest. Many lists contained enormous numbers of words which, under the rules, had to be eliminated. "Pcggor" would count, "loggers" would not. Sumo lists contained over f>0,000 words, the great majority of which wore cut out. The largest lists were checked over two and in nomo cases three times to insure accuracy The 1100.00 gold prize was won by L. D. Ree*e, 1227-luth St., Denver, Colo., with 9941 correct worda. The highest $10.00 gold prize went to S. K. Fraser. Lincoln, Pa., with 9921 correct words. A complete list of the 331 winners with their home addresses will be sent to any contestant enquiring on a postal card. Be sure and give name and address clearly. This contest has cost tho Co. many thousand dollars, and probably has not been a prolltable advertisement, nevertheless, porhaps some who had never before tried Grape-Nuts food have been interested in tho contest, and from trial of the food havo b.-on shown its wonderful rebuilding paw era. It teaches In n practical manner that scientifically gathered food elements can be selected from the field grains which nature wIP use for rebuilding the nerva centres and brain In n way that is unmistakable to nsers of Orape-Nuts.

In IMS she married Isaac Pinkham, a builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and a daughter. In those good old fashioned days it was oenunon for mothers to make their own home medicines from roots and herbs, nature's own remedies? calling in a physician only in specially argent cases. By tradition and exSerience many of them gained n wonerful knowledge of the curative properties of the varioua roots and herbs. Mrs. Pinkham took n great interest in the study of roots and herbs, their 1 biiBiMtciiincii uu power oT?r aiMasc. She maintained that juat aa nature so bountifully provides In the harvest fields and orchards vegetable foods of nil kinds; so, if we hut take the pains to find them, in the roots and herbs of the field there are remediea expresetj designed to cure the vnrious tile and weaknesses of the body, and' it was her pleasure to search these out, and prepare etmple and effective medi eines for her own family and friends. Chief of these was a rare combination of the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found beat adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses peculiar to the female sex, and Lydla E.Pinkham's friends and neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured and it became quite popular among them. All this so far was done freely, without money and without price, as a labor of love. But in 1673 the financial crisis struck Lynn. Its length and severity were too much for the large real estate interests of the I'inkham family, aa this class of business suffered most from fearful depression, so when the Centennial year dawned it found their property syept away. Some other source of income had to be found. At this point Lydia tl. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was made known to the world. The three sons and the daughter, with their mother, combined forces to !

They hired a job printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth the merits of the medicine, now ealled Lydia E.

The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to a great extent, self-advertising, for whoever used it recommended it to others, and tbe demand gradually increased. In 1877, by combined efforts tlie family had saved enengh money fie commence newspaper ad vertising and from that time the growth and success of the enterprise were assured, until today Lydia K Pinkham and her Vege.table Compound have become household words everywhere, and many tons of roots and herbs are used annually in its manufacture.
